Float-tube fisherman nearly pulled underwater by giant catfish
After ‘scary moments' on Ebro River, Gerard Smyth of Ireland lands 169-pound fish, believes it is biggest catfish ever caught from a float-tube
Gerard Smyth nearly got more than he bargained for when a giant catfish he hooked while fishing from a float-tube dragged him nearly a mile down river and at one point came close to pulling him under the water.
The “scary moments” occurred during a 1 1/2-hour battle that ended with Smyth landing the massive catfish weighing a whopping 169 pounds.
